Who would win
A aircraft carrier worth 6.2 billion dollars with some of latest technologies
Or
One sneaky boi
The video didn't cover any attack tactics on how the Swedish sunk our ship in war games? Only how the Swedish used a diesel engine which is quieter than most engines. Which was very smart and not only silent ,but leaves no trace of radiation like most subs which can be detected? The real answer they are getting across is? "If it works don't mess with it". They just out smarted modern technology and won with a lower price tagged submarine proving that a $12.998 billion dollar Air Craft Carrier can be sunk with no problem using only one submarine. Imagine what 4-5 subs could do to an entire armed escort of the United States Navy in a real battle? "If done right we wouldn't stand a chance a against them".
american ships have the same quality like their cars: Pontiac, Cadillac, Ford, GMC, ... all cheap crap 💩
Lol.... It's bullshit
The navy plays possum to give false confidence
In war games they always lose
The Iranians did it with suicide boats and motorcycle scouts ... What's your point swedes ?
BS war games are bs
Many of the pics you show in the video (for example 1:23 and 2:07) are not the Gotland Class, they are of the new swedish model that will be even better, the A26.
You can read more about it on Saabs webpage:

I'm from India. Is there any job opportunity in Australia after doing the course?
DBF USN 88-96 FT2/SS....if it doesn't submerge, it will sink..AKA a target
Super Submarine made by IKEA
Jeaaa bla bla bla the German u 32 did it all so like the French Submarine. The US Marine are not so smart to find this New Class of Submarines. And the have NO Sterling Engine for Underwather travel. Stupid Bullshit. The 2 Submarines how deliver a Fake Torpedo to the Aircraft Carrier has good Fuel Cells and a Elektrik Engine. The Diesel is only für Over Wather Travel. The Electric Motor is a Brushless Engine wiith a diameter over 2 Meter. Its Rotate Slow and has a direkt Drive to the Prop. No Gears nothing. Yea and the Gorland Class from Sweden have got a Sterling Engine but the only work Surfaced. Dived the use the Same Electric direct Drive like the French an German Sub´s.
That intro was hilarious "making them the second biggest Air Force in the world only behind the actual US Air Force
0:26 new-klewer-powered ship
But how did they do it tactically?
Basically the U.S. thinks that expensive weapons can win the war🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe they should put the carrier in the middle, not out front on its own?
I have a doubt
sonar detects any object in it's range. the object need not to make noise .
I like indian submarin
sweden is an american ally so america can simply ask for the blueprints and its navy would be safe again.
Russian :
invents systems ,that can deteckt nuklear waves.
Sweden: you might have outsmarted me, but I have outsmarted your outsmarting .
Prolly should say that brilliant you have to pay for.
Think an Aussie diesel electric done this to a US carrier as well
D M no like, it WAS the sub that sank it. The aussies did it first with their Swedish designed boat
IKEA Liked that
Great Commentary, A real natural .
Cool sub. But does it have RAILGUNS?! SALVATION!
A french old nuclear powered submarine did exactly the same in 2015, against the USS Theodore Roosevelt

Subs too op please nerf
This man can Segway! Whoa bro 💪 salesman
And now imagine what russian can do with US floating coffins if they figure out how to destroy them for decades. Sweden dont think about that at all.
radar cant, and will never be able to render a 3d image moronm wtf are u talking about! looks like you get ur facts from call of duty intros or some shit
"how a container ship knocked off state of the art destroyer"
Question... This was virtual Right?
Hotel trivago
u wot?
Great ,i always like underdog story
Stirling 2018
Reminds me of pp
Lol
Incompetence
Nothing new folks....Aussie Navy have been doing it for years and anyone who is in the know, when Countries are "Playing" war games the Yanks ALWAYS cheat at every opportunity and they are still "sunk"! They can't even play fair with their allies! Says a lot about a Country.
Funny for once you don’t have a crazy american to say in the comment section that usa have the best army and the best country...
And the sonar tech heard faint sounds of Abba playing over his headphones.
I served on the submarine that sunk the USS Enterprise in war games forty years ago.
The USN is the most powerful navy in the world, by several orders of magnitude. They did not choose to go for only nuclear subs because they are stupid or because they did not think it through. They did so for very good reasons.
Nuclear subs can submerge and stay submerged. Meaning, they have strategic stealth. A US sub can go from San Diego to Mumbai submerged meaning noone will see this movement or know where the US submarine fleet is at. A diesel sub would have been detected by satellites if nothing after a day or two.
The diesel sub's advantage is that it can turn off its engine and run on batteries. The reason to have nuclear reactors in subs is that they do not need oxygen. So they can stay submerged forever. However, this also means they can not turn off their engines. And eninges have movable parts and violent processes and steam and bubbles. That are noisy.
To sum up:
Diesel sub, Superior stealth on the tactical level.
Nuclear sub, Superior stealth on the strategic level.
@Howard Pearcey It has two diesel engines and two Sterling engines. I don't know the specifics but I think the Sterling Engines can be used for both very slow propulsion in absolute silence with short bursts of speed.
Today, diesel sub means sterling engine also. Sterling engines are pointless in nuclear sub since you always have to pump cooling water no matter what, which is noisy.
How about a Stirling engine? No big banging internal combustion. This sub had a silent Stirling engine.
Wasn't this story a hoax?
I now want a Sterling Engine in my car.
Such a beautiful thing. She is glorious.
When are you releasing the next logistics of d-day episode?
South African submarine SAS Manthatisi sank the whole NATO fleet involved in exercises in 2007, 8 ships in total.
I assume this has already been thought of, but can't you avoid the revealing-of-location problem of active sonar by sending a small drone sub a few km away and have that produce the initial ping? It's location could be concurrently transmitted with a coded accompanying sound signal.
@Howard Pearcey also, doesn't radar give a profile to the radar operator of the size of the object's mass? Or is that only in aircraft technology? If it does, then the size of the drone sub will give away the presence of the other fleet members because the range likely won't be congruent with the location the mini-sub can reach with its own range.
That ping will also reveal the parent sub from its own echo return.
you didnt even talk about how it got the shots off. booooo
wouldn't have too, just run a firing exercise with umpires present
THE NEW GEN SUBS even more quiet than this swe sub..
NO ONE CARESA ABOUT NAVY ANNYMORE THE NEXT WAR GIANT WAR WONT BE WITH CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS..
its gonna be SUN BEAM;S FROM SATELITES AND METEROS HURLED DOWN Jsut watch... its going way beyond waht you people can imagine...
forget bullets and shit, just wait and see ...bombers+ xD 1945 weapons xD
@longnamenocansayy currency and peoples opinions are the new medium for warfare.
putin said we are so far advanced above thermonuclear. the end result is the same but it's not thermonuclear. remember word trade center buildings in nyc. i think that was space platform weapons. whatever it was, it melted the steel and turned the buildings into dust. whatever they used, that's 20 years ago and they've gone quantum leaps since then.
basically the vietnam war when you can't see the vietcong
0:29 , HMS Queen Elizabeth : Nah
Not sunk, a hit was registered on it. That sub only has 2 tubes and once it reveals its location by emptying them it only has a few moments to dive out of harm's way. Certainly noteworthy, alarming even, but that would be like firing two torpedoes into New York City and expecting the city to collapse.
@Howard Pearcey They aren't in use, tactical nuclear warfare has been off the table since the 1960's. I can't speak to Russia any farther than US intelligence can, and they agree with me, but if the US started reactivating tactical nukes you'd see mass officer resignations. Nuclear proliferation concerns aside anyone trained to operate these things knows that in the context of naval warfare, you will not be far enough away to avoid lethal radiation exposure should one go off.
@Drew W Gad you have faith in the wits and ethics of Trump, Putin and Kim. I don't. A nuclear torpedo into a carrier group or convoy could mean the difference between win and lose. If I had nukes I would never take their use of the table. Else why have them.
@Howard Pearcey Neither will use tactical nukes (I.E nukes used in the battlefield against mobile targets instead of on bombers and ICBM's against stationary targets). The risk far outweighs the potential reward.
@Howard Pearcey His presidency term is almost going to a second election and nothing worse than any of his three predecessors has occurred but you still drone on? I'll be sure to pay attention to your opinion now that you've alerted me to your retardation...
@Drew W Tell that to Putin, Kim and Trump.
lol sweden is too busy hiding people of the sword rapes and making sure their own culture disappears and hiding hand grenade attacks to even use a sub
take your meds
I'm sorry "defeated the US navy"? That is not only a massively gross oversimplification of what happened, 15 years ago, but is just flat out wrong. The whole issue was the fact that the sub managed to get within the inner circle of protection the carrier had, undetected. The Swedish sub managed to take pictures of the carrier. Which meant it was in a position to fire torpedoes at it. No physical torpedoes were fired, dummy or otherwise. The problem was the Gotland's torpedoes are no where near powerful enough to sink an aircraft carrier, nor does it have a sufficient number of torpedo tubes. So this Swedish sub couldn't have even sunk the carrier let alone "defeated the US Navy". Any expert or even anyone who served in the Navy will tell you that's just talking nonsense. Plus launching a torpedo would have given away its position, and had it done that it's likely it may not have gotten out of there in one piece. And again, this happened 15 years ago. The US Navy has considerably updated and strengthened its ASW capabilities since then. Not to say a US carrier could not be sunk, but it's not as easy as some people seem to think. Moreover, even if an enemy sub managed to sink a US aircraft carrier, killing thousands of US service men and women, I honestly wouldn't want to be that sub, it's crew or even a resident of the country from which it was commissioned. Because the retaliation for something like that would be absolutely horrifying. Not only would that sub and its crew be mercilessly hunted down and destroyed, but the nation itself would be bombed and attacked furiously.
alternatively, what we display openly is not what we have in reality. meaning aircraft carriers and tanks are obsolete. they tell us our navy is fitting ships with lasers now. to me that does not mean lasers are the future, it means lasers are already outdated.
